Do You make Lists?

Post by suzy1124 »

yes, my l'il joke is that " my lists have lists "

food shopping
books
cleaning and other household related chores...
phone calls
ideas for paintings, cooking, writing,
present and future goals...
" Honey -do " list for my handyman
google lists
movies, etc.

Lists dont work for me. I usually dont stick with them. I make grocery lists, but that dosent do a lot of good. Stuff keeps jumping off the shelves into my cart and by the time I get to the checkstand I have twice as much as what was on my list.

You mean you ruin a good cup of coffee by putting cream in it? Shame, shame. :lol:

Toilet paper and peanut butter, you never want to run out of those. They are life's necessities. :lol:

I try to make to-do lists, but it's hard for me to stick to them. With books, I use goodreads for all my lists. It's a really great website. Other than that, I don't do much in the way of lists.

I couldn't navigate thru life w/o my lists............i'd always ask my husband " how can you live w/o a list? "...he'd always tell me: " it's all in my head "...

I guess i feel the need for that kind of " structure "...and then there's the matter of WHAT'S on your lists?...
I Once read that : " your list is what you're about "..............
A good self analysis tool at the time.............a snapshot of who you are at the moment...
very " telling "...

I never could keep a list in my head, but I used to be able to go grocery shopping and add up the total prices in my head and when I came to the checkout I wasnt very far off. Unless I was distracted, someone talking to me, etc. Doubt if I could do it any more, the old knob isnt what it used to be.
